In building a new school, our School Board has the opportunity to shape the leadership, culture and direction of St George College from the outset.
It is our intent to create a holistic educational environment where students will be uniquely prepared for secondary school by developing faith-based values and experiencing a rich curriculum, stimulating co-curricular activities and Hellenic culture, supported throughout the community.
As part of The Greek Community of St George, the Christian Orthodox faith will play an important role in underpinning the foundations of our college.
Our teaching pedagogy will focus on four main tenets:
- Empowering students with challenging and relevant learning experiences so they develop intellectual capacity, creative and critical thinking and foster a growth mindset to becoming thought leaders of the future.
- Providing cultural, spiritual and social connections to enhance students sense of individuality, belonging and understanding of self.
- Giving students opportunities to reflect, stretch and overcome challenges so they develop confidence and resilience.
- Nurturing values and guided behaviours in students so they can grow in social awareness, self-discipline, respect and kindness.
